Development of modelling and forecasting in geology (Volume 4). Actual climates representative of past climates: Basis of bio-climate model; Geoprospective: developpement de la modelisation. Volume 4. Equivalents actuels des climats du passe: les bases d`une modelisation des bioclimats

Abstract

To access the long-term safety of radioactive waste disposal systems, validation of predictive models is essential and large efforts should be given to barriers, particularly geologic barriers. This work appears in the form of four volumes, the subject of the fourth part is described below. The purpose of this study is to find actual climates which can represent past climates in Europe, during Plio-Quaternary Palynology technics is the most adapted to restore ancient climates. A climatic index, Q{sub n} is defined as a function of yearly rainfalls, monthly extreme temperatures and aridity. A climatic diagram is built with climatic index Q{sub n} along X axis and a function of the yearly mean temperature along Y axis. This original method can ensure vegetation determination from climate and vice versa. Erosion and Weathering values may be determined after model calibration. 23 figs., 21 refs..
